Callum Eaton’s work is rooted in uncovering the profound beauty hidden in the everyday. The objects he paints - doors, cash machines, elevators - are more than functional items; they are silent witnesses to the rhythms of daily life. Though often overlooked, they carry the marks of countless interactions, quietly telling stories of presence, passage, and time. “If you can’t find the beauty in your own backyard, it’s not worth finding.” This belief drives his practice. Through meticulous attention to detail, he seeks to elevate these unassuming forms, revealing their quiet elegance and inviting viewers to pause and see them anew. By honoring the mundane, Eaton’s paintings encourage reflection on the spaces we navigate and the objects we encounter; inspiring a deeper appreciation for the overlooked, and reminding us all of the extraordinary meaning held within the ordinary.
